    Abstract: A control circuit for a totem pole PFC circuit with a low side power switch coupled between a switching node and a reference ground. The control circuit includes fourth pins. The first pin is coupled to the switching node. The second pin is coupled to the switching node through a first unidirectional device. The third pin is coupled to a control terminal of the low side power switch. The fourth pin is configured to be coupled to the reference ground. The control circuit is configured to control the turning-off of the low side power switch based on a first voltage indicative of a drain-source voltage of the low side power switch.

    Abstract: An asymmetric power converter includes a primary-side rectifying/filtering circuit, a power factor correction circuit, an asymmetric conversion circuit, and a feedback control circuit. The primary-side rectifying/filtering circuit rectifies and filters an input voltage to output a first voltage. The power factor correction circuit converts the first voltage into a power voltage. The asymmetric conversion circuit converts the power voltage into an output voltage to supply power to a load, and an output current is drawn by the load. The feedback control circuit generates a feedback control signal according to a load power demand provided by the load. The feedback control circuit controls the asymmetric conversion circuit to operate in a full-bridge resonant mode, a half-bridge resonant mode, or a hybrid half-bridge resonant mode according to the feedback control signal.
